Hi thank you for your reply so like is hannigram in love with each other , when the creator says they are canon what exactly should I understand by that

I don’t think of Hannigram in terms of a typical romcom couple where there is a happy ending or a tragedy at the end of the movie. Hannibal and Will each have specific motivations outside of each other and they cannot get out of each other’s orbit. I think they are soulmates; whether that is romantic, platonic, as enemies, I don’t want to define them in black and white. I think it’s a mix of everything. They just share a singular intimacy and they love each other. That “love” is just love, to me. I can’t label it. If you prefer to label it, you should. I believe there is a lot of space in Hannibal that allows for the viewer’s interpretations.

And whether Hannigram is canon, I think the creator, if he said that, was referring to when Bedelia tells Will that Hannibal is in love with him. So this fact is acknowledged by the characters themselves. Hannibal considers Will as, perhaps, an equal, and that he cares for him deeply, in the only way Hannibal will choose to do.
